If you know you are drafting a kid that doesn't want to be with your team you had better start kissing his arse early and often to avoid this.
Sutter's zeal for Swedes and poor scouts and connections in the league to people who could have warned them of things like this. If we are drafting Europeans, we need a few more European contacts as well.
